Ernest Hemingway’s dictum: When you don’t know what to write, write the truest thing you know.
What subject could you write about today that involves the "truest feeling"? Write it without using the word, true. Realize your truth with the use of metaphor and sensory imagery. Avoid abstract words.
Consider:
Return to a time you experienced a truth or situation that involved feeling "true" as a child.
Recall a conversation with a friend about a truth.
Writing about a memory of winning an argument.
How will true speak to you in your writing today?
